Deanna Thomas BSc (Hons) - Licensed acupuncturist specialising in women's health and fertility in Middlesbrough

Deanna Thomas

 BSc (Hons) Lic.Ac MBAcC DipObsGyn 

As a highly experienced acupuncturist with over 20 years in holistic therapies, my journey into traditional Chinese medicine began with my own powerful healing experience. This personal transformation led me to pursue extensive training in acupuncture, culminating in a BSc (Hons) degree from London Southbank University. As a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of practice and continuing professional development.

My expertise has been further enhanced through postgraduate diplomas in fertility, menopause, gynaecology, and obstetrics from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. I practice a comprehensive range of techniques, including Dr Tan and Master Tung acupuncture, alongside auricular acupuncture, which allows me to offer truly personalised treatments.

Specialising in women's health acupuncture, fertility support, and pain management, I focus on identifying root causes and treating specific points to restore balance and promote natural healing. This holistic approach has helped countless patients on their journey to better health, whether they're seeking fertility support, relief from menopausal symptoms, or managing chronic conditions.
